This book investigates the fundamental tenets of community radio as
a movement through an examination of the experiences of six
contemporary Irish community radio stations. The recent development
of a strong community radio movement in Ireland provides a wealth
of concrete experience which informs new insights into both the
theory and the practice of community broadcasting generally. Ten
years of academic research, illustrated by examples presented in
the words of community radio activists, enables an examination of
the following crucial issues: the concept of community and its
construction through communication; the role and meaning of public
participation in a mass medium; and, the creation of the
multi-flows of communication.Recent calls for theoretical
perspectives on community media illustrate a gap in academic
literature, which this book addresses. Current interest in new
media, radical media, the human right to communicate, public sphere
theory and New Social Movements raise questions that the experience
of Irish community radio may help to answer. New frameworks for the
evaluation of community broadcasters on their own terms are offered
and those should provide useful to community media activists and
researchers alike.
